Review: They see me rollin', they hatin'... - ...cuz my wheelchair is painted black and red and awesome! I had spinal surgery in June and we had initially purchased a transport chair (all small wheels, the user cannot steer). That was really light and worked out well for traveling, but it was really irritating trying to go anywhere because I felt like I had no control. We purchased this one for everyday use, and I love it! I love the colors, and have even gotten compliments from people on the streets on how nice it looks. I got a little cushion to sit on and that makes it even more comfortable. I am 5'5" and 115 lbs and there is a lot of room for me to shift around. My husband likes it because he doesn't have to take anything apart or off of it to load it in the car, and he can still push me around, if I need him too. Be warned, it is not light. I am not sure of the exact weight, but we had to switch back to the transport chair when my 60 year old Mom had to take care of me because she couldn't lift this one. My husband isn't Thor or anything, , and he can lift it alright. My only complaint is, I was a little weak after the surgery and the brakes were difficult for me to lock in place. At first, I thought they didn't work, but you just really have to crank them over. I think it is a great price for a nice chair, even though I hope I don't have to use it for much longer! I was also able to snap the cup holder from my transport on, so I can enjoy a refreshing beverage while I roll. Review: Excellent value for your dollar - Whatever decision lead you to this page, whether your disability is temporary or permanent, this wheelchair is an amazing product, With two injured knees I couldn't easily move on crutches without intense pain and exhaustion. The decision to invest in this particular product is one I won't regret. Several features drew me to this wheelchair. Increased weight capacity without extra bulk means a lighter chair that can be folded/unfolded by one person. Removable armrests, leg rests, and lowering back handles makes storage, transportation, and transfer a hassle-free process. Product is packaged well and only took fifteen minutes to assemble from start to finish, no tools required. Push button design means you can remove the casters, foot rests, wheels, and arm rests quickly and easily. The wheelchair practically glides as it rolls over most surfaces with little effort. Tight turning radius is a bonus for small spaces. Very solid, it can take some abuse without worrying about damaging components or the frame. The casters are large and can sometimes get in the way when rolling over small ledges like door thresholds, and this is my only complaint. Similar wheelchairs at a local pharmacy cost upwards $300. While the price originally drew me to the Rebel it is because of the quality that I will recommend this to anyone needing a wheelchair. ## Features - Lightweight Folding Wheelchair: These ultralight folding wheelchairs for adults make mobility easy whether used independently or with assistance; the sleek design provides superior maneuverability in narrow indoor layouts - Customizable Comfort: Portable wheelchairs feature cushioned armrests and swing-away footrests for customized support; tool-free removable front casters and folding chair and backrest allow easy transportation - Durable Design: The durable steel frame provides reliable stability and supports up to 300 pounds; 19-inch easy-to-clean padded nylon seat is designed to provide lasting comfort - Easy to Transport: Quick-release rear wheels and an easy-to-fold frame allow for easy storage or transport - Dimensions: Back: 17 inches in height; seat: 19.5 inches in height; overall width: 25.5 inches (open) and 10.5 inches (closed); weight capacity: 300 lbs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008NW7ABE | | Additional Features | FoldingOutdoorDesk Length Arms | | Best Sellers Rank | #205,927 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #81 in Attendant & Transport Wheelchairs #5,297 in Sales & Deals | | Brake Style | Push-to-Lock | | Brand | Drive Medical | | Brand Name | Drive Medical | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 874 Reviews | | Frame Material | Alloy Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00822383270005 | | Handle Type | Push Handles | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 30"D x 8"W x 6"H | | Item Weight | 37 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Drive Medical | | Manufacturer Part Number | RTLREB18DDA-SF | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 300 Pounds | | Model Name | Single axle wheelchair | | Model Number | RTLREB18DDA-SF | | Power Source | Manual Propulsion | | Product Dimensions | 30"D x 8"W x 6"H | | Product Style | Modern | | Required Assembly | Yes | | Seat Depth | 16 inches | | Seat Height | 19.5 Inches | | Style | Modern | | Turn Radius | 28 Inches | | UPC | 822383270005 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | | Wheel Type | Rear Wheels | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Drive Medical - **Color:** Red - **Item Weight:** 37 Pounds - **Style:** Modern - **Product Dimensions:** 43"D x 25.5"W x 35"H ## Images ![Rebel Lightweight Wheelchair with Swing-Away Footrest, Red | Lightweight Wheelchair with Swing-Away Footrest for Easy Transfers and Convenient Everyday Mobility Use - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kUewOMUML.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a 16" width seat?

Why remove casters, armrests do not remove, how is this chair outdoors on pavement?** A: The chair proved to be very sturdy for my husband who is 150 lbs. We used it on the pavement on New York City, and it was easy to maneuver with no problems. He leans to the right due to spinal issues, and the chair maintains balance. We used it on a cruise ship and it was easy to maneuver around tight spaces. We do remove the wheels to fit the chair into cars, and it is simple to reattach them. **Q: the product description says "the arm rests flip up to make transferring easy, fast and safer." someone below said that they do not. anybody know?** A: The arms on the chair are spring loaded. You can push one button on either arm and it can be removed very easy. As far as β€œflipping up”, no it does not flip up. I still highly recommend this chair for the simplicity of use. **Q: Is there a warranty on the frame?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They see me rollin', they hatin'... *by J***Y on September 11, 2014* ...cuz my wheelchair is painted black and red and awesome!

With features such as, removable wheels at the touch of a button, fold down rear handles makes this chair a breeze to transport. The high gloss paint scheme separating it from the other chairs was a bonus. As with any purchase made online, I was skeptical of the quality until it arrived. Comfortable, durable, stable, well balanced and sturdy, I am well pleased with my purchase of the Drive Medical lightweight wheelchair. Since it has only a standard back stops, I would however like to see as an optional purchase "wheelie bars." For installing or removing the armrests for the first few times I would recommend; Installing the armrests; the user insert the rear posts first (or vice -versa, depending on if you want the arm rest pads facing forward or back) and then with a quick and forceful motion pop the front - rear posts in. When removing the armrests; push down on the front - rear of the armrest to relieve the spring pressure off the push button and then remove. It helps if you spray a little lube like WD-40, and after a few times doing this break-in procedure the tension on the spring buttons begin to relax.
